Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH production declines significantly, leading to unpleasant symptoms. HGH therapy involves injections of bioidentical human growth hormone to restore optimal levels, providing anti-aging and therapeutic benefits.
HGH therapy effectively treats hormonal imbalance and can:
At Equilibrium Hormone Institute in Mission, we specialize in customized HGH therapy programs to help patients look and feel their best. Our detailed evaluation optimizes treatment for maximum safety and efficacy.
Below we will explore the specifics of HGH and its many benefits. Discover how hormone optimization can transform your health.
Declining HGH levels gradually cause undesirable symptoms. Early detection and prompt treatment is key. Signs of growth hormone deficiency include:
If multiple symptoms are present, an HGH deficiency could be to blame. Getting a timely medical evaluation is critical, as prolonged hormonal imbalance causes cumulative damage.
The body requires balanced HGH levels for strength, optimal function and disease protection. When levels decline, bothersome symptoms emerge. Restoring balance revitalizes health from head to toe.
HGH or human growth hormone is made by the tiny pituitary gland at the base of the brain. This master gland produces hormones influencing various functions. HGH stimulates tissue growth, increases muscle mass and bone density while decreasing fat. It helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol.
Levels peak during puberty and young adulthood. By age 30, secretion declines by 14% per decade. This gradual loss causes unhealthy changes.
HGH injections effectively and safely restore youthful hormone balance. Individualized programs deliver medically prescribed bioidentical hormones to reverse deficiency and rejuvenate patients from the inside out.
Along with improving appearance, treatment enhances overall health. Patients report increased energy, mental clarity and improved intimacy and relationships.
Treatment utilizes bioidentical hormones - exact replicas of what the body makes naturally. These regulate systems, functions and organs dependent on balanced growth hormone levels.
HGH and nutritional IV therapies replenish depleted reservoirs. Getting levels into optimal ranges resolves symptoms of aging or illness related to hormone loss.
Ongoing medical supervision tailors dosing to maximize benefits while ensuring safety. Patients enjoy revitalized health, inside and out.
HGH therapy efficacy and safety is well-established by decades of medical research and clinical use. When properly administered under physicians’ care, growth hormones produce excellent outcomes with minimal risk. However, inappropriate use can be dangerous.
HGH treatments are administered by injection. Two types of bioidentical growth hormone meet stringent requirements for purity and consistency:
Somatropin is identical to natural, human pituitary-derived hormones. Genotropin, Norditropin, Nutropin, Omnitrope and Saizen are common brand names.
Sermorelin stimulates pituitary gland to secrete HGH naturally. Often combined with hormone optimization.
After evaluation, our physicians recommend the best protocol for each patient’s needs and goals. Ongoing testing tracks progress. Adjustments ensure maximum benefits.
Restoring youthful HGH levels provides whole-body benefits:
Treatment reshapes body composition. HGH injections build and retain lean muscle while mobilizing fat stores for energy metabolism. This enhances fitness, strength, endurance and metabolism. Clothing fits better as the figure firms and trims.
Abundant growth hormone enhances bone matrix proteins vital for growth, resilience and fracture resistance. HGH therapy significantly increases bone mineral density to protect against osteoporosis.
Age-related collagen and elastin breakdown makes skin thinner, looser and more creped. Growth factors within HGH stimulate structural protein synthesis and skin thickening for younger texture and resilience.
Growth factors encourage active hair follicles and thicker strands. HGH nourishes the entire growth cycle, increasing volume and shine while reducing hair loss.
Balanced hormones stabilize mood. Enhanced cognition and memory concentration provide mental clarity. Motivation and confidence improve.
Treatment builds strength and cardiac output, reducing exercise recovery times. Patients regain youthful vitality for work, play and peak performance.
Increased energy, self-assurance and sex drive enhances emotional and physical intimacy. HGH alleviates menopausal symptoms to improve couple’s satisfaction.
Growth hormone lowers LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides for better cardiovascular protection. It also enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
HGH bolsters immune defenses against illness and infection. Rapid healing, increased disease resistance and fewer colds or flus result.
When administered properly, growth hormone replacement therapy produces wide-ranging wellness benefits. Patients look and feel healthier, inside and out.
Although often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency in children. When prescribed properly by a doctor, it can help those with medical conditions like dwarfism reach normal heights and lead fuller lives.
Since many conditions cause similar signs and symptoms, accurate diagnosis is essential. Evaluation includes:
Medical History – Tracing symptoms and reviewing risk factors like head trauma, radiation treatment, etc. helps determine causes of hormone decline.
Physical Exam – Changes like increased fat, reduced muscle, high cholesterol, etc. suggest growth hormone loss.
Blood Tests – Comparing IGF-1 (stimulated by HGH) to normal levels for patient’s age range indicates deficits requiring treatment.
Testing at high-quality local labs ensures accuracy:
Proper diagnosis guides HGH dosing for best restoration of youthful balance, health and vitality.
After complete medical evaluation, physicians develop customized treatment plans considering:
Frequent testing tracks patient progress, guiding dosage adjustments. HGH therapy protocols utilize:
Somatropin (rDNA origin) precisely replaces deficient hormones. Injections are self-administered 3 to 7 times weekly. NEW FDA approved weekly and twice-weekly protocols now available!
Sermorelin stimulates natural pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, then stay constant. Restoration persists long after completing treatment. Perfect for metabolism, anti-aging.
HGH and Sermorelin treatment plans help patients realize their best health and function. Equilibrium Hormone Institute’ medical team finds the optimal approach for each individual.
Seeking timely treatment is critical, as prolonged hormone deficiencies cause cumulative damage. The benefits of prompt HGH replacement therapy include:
